Course objectives
The musicology course CORE031 in the spring semester 2024 focuses on the city as a musical environment in a diachronic and synchronic perspective through lectures by local and invited experts not only from the field of musicology. In addition to issues of area studies and historical topics including so-called soundscapes, contemporary themes of urban musical life (festivals, concert halls, busking) will also be reflected upon.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:
- identify and summarize key manifestations of urban musical culture from historical and contemporary perspectives
- apply theoretical knowledge in practice (music dramaturgy)
- analyze the current situation in different areas of urban musical life
